The International Mathematical Knowledge Trust (IMKT) was created as a step towards a global digital mathematics library with a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The principal investigators, under its 2015 remit, were associated with the Global Digital Mathematics Library Working Group (GDML WG) of the International Mathematical Union’s Committee on Electronic Information and Communication (IMU CEIC).
The IMKT was legally constituted in December 2017 in Waterloo, ON Canada under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act.
